A's Reportedly Shopping Starting Pitchers As Deadline Hot Stove Heats Up

The Athletics are in last place in the American League West, and as the countdown to the trade deadline continues, they have reportedly been shopping their controllable starting pitchers, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

Photo byThe A's have three starting pitchers that fit the bill this deadline season: JP Sears, Jeffrey Springs, and Luis Severino. All three pitchers are under contract past this season, and with the market shortage of controllable starting pitching, the Athletics could set themselves up nicely. Severino has already expressed his displeasure with pitching at the Athletics' temporary home ballpark in Sacramento and was likely to be moved before this report. Severino has a 3.10 ERA on the road this season in nine starts while his numbers drastically change at home, posting a 6.68 ERA in 12 outings. The right-hander is under contract through next season and would be a multi-year gap pitcher for teams waiting on the arrival of prospects. Springs has one more season under contract with a team option for 2027, and while he hasn't been the most fantastic pitcher in baseball, his 4.18 ERA would be serviceable for most teams looking for a back-end pitcher. The lefty has been efficient with his pitches, walking just 38 batters on the season and striking out 7.1 hitters per nine innings. Sears has the most control out of the three but also the worst stats, posting a 5.13 ERA this season. If a team were to acquire Sears, they would be gambling on his future, as the left-hander is arbitration-eligible this offseason.

Giants lose hot-hitting Matt Chapman to the IL for weekend hand injury
After starring in one of the San Francisco Giants ' most stirring victories during their current five-game winning streak, Matt Chapman was placed on the injured list on Tuesday. The Giants' third baseman has been one of the team's hottest hitters of late. He was injured in the eighth inning of Sunday's game when diving back to first base; he jammed three fingers on his right hand, and while X-rays proved negative, he said the initial pain was significant, as he 'tore all three ligaments' in his middle three fingers. The official diagnosis of the injury is inflammation in his throwing hand. The Giants recalled Christian Koss from Triple-A Sacramento. Koss, a strong defensive infielder, is likely to provide infield depth from the bench while Casey Schmitt plays regularly at third base, his best position. Saturday, Chapman hit a two-out, two-run homer to give the Giants a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Over his past 11 games, the multi-Gold Glove winner is batting .395 with five doubles, three homers and five walks.
